The Annual Start-of-Term Feast!

[Draco Malfoy]

“Yeah… I was a prick, anyway…” Draco said, chuckling slightly. Hermione seemed to be nice, so he came to realize it could have been him being mean the entire time, and she just standing up for his self. He brought a hand up to his head, wiping back his blonde hair, along with the rest of the toppings on his head.

She seemed to be thinking for a moment, a pondering look haunted Draco’s features, wondering what she’d say. Did he offend her? Maybe she didn’t like him at all… Or she was thinking about what to say to him? A little frown fell upon his face, until she opened her mouth to reply to his statement.

All though he didn’t want to, he coughed loudly; almost choking on the grape he just popped into his mouth, his silvery eyes widened, blinking heavily in Hermione’s direction. “Really?” They had known each other for a long time, so why not? Draco repeated to himself, it just seemed… Rather, not right… From what he saw, they didn’t seem too much in love; maybe crush like, but not in love. Then again, he didn’t see them too much, so he wasn’t even one to judge. “Uh, well, congratulations… Sorry, just a little unexpected…” A small grin slipped on his features, his hair falling back into place, despite it being in a sticky mess.

Ooc: Gasp! Really? dammit… Owell, I saw it coming………

-Hugs Narcissa- Lol, nice... XDD

[Hermione Granger]

Hermione laughed, "I'm sure you weren't a 'prick' to the people who you liked."

Looking back up at Draco, she kept a straight face on. He seemed to be surprised, well who would, they hadn't told anyone, not that she knew of anyway, however Draco seemed to be a little more then surprised to her. Hermione was still unsure about the whole 'marriage' thing, and was really confused about the situation, so she really didn't want to press the subject any further.

"Thanks..." she said, looking back at the ground, trying to think up something to change the subject.

All of a sudden she found herself saying something that wasn't exactly getting off the subject, and was something she wouldn't usually ask someone, "So hows your love-life going?"

Once it left her mouth, Hermione felt like taking the words back, but instead to a deep breath, and then kept her normal expression on her face, as her eyes returned to Draco.

ooc: lmao, Hermione-kins is set up to marry Ron sometime... the main reason was that there were some Weasleys calling me their aunt, I guess when they made their character, they assumed Ron and Hermione would be married. But things could change... <.< >.>

[Draco Malfoy]

After the fact, she seemed to want to push away the subject, speaking thanks to his congratulations. Was she unsure? Why the hell was he thinking like that? No one cared what he thought, and his thoughts should be nothing other then, so they finally got together. He slipped a smile onto his features, thinking about how bad he needed a shower; he was so sticky with ice cream and chocolate sauce.

“So how’s your love-life going?”

Luckily, Draco hadn’t inserted a grape in his mouth; otherwise he would have near choked once more. Usually, he didn’t find people asking him that question, or something similar to it, unless they were interested in him. He gave her a look of bewilderment for a brief moment, but then brought his facial expression back into neutral. “Uh, not so hot, a few flings… Nothing special, I haven’t found anyone that seems right for me… Sometimes there is this girl that I think may be right for me, but then I realize… I don’t know, maybe there’s someone better, more for me… Hm, she could be right under my nose and I wouldn’t know it…” Draco sort of went into a rather overly large speech, mostly unintentionally.

“I s’pose I’d ask you the same… But you are getting married… So, I guess things are going pretty good…” The blonde searched her hands, looking for traces of an engagement ring.

Ooc: Ah, you know what they say about assuming. Hm, it could change, huh? –Evil look- … I mean… -Innocent look-

[Hermione Granger]

Hermione looked at Draco, "Really, I would think that you would at least be engaged, if I'm getting married already." Hermione said, she was really surprised that he didn't have the best love-life, she would have imagined him married, or in a serious relationship, or something a long the lines of that.

Oh no... back to that subject again... Hermione thought as Draco spoke, so she decided she would just shrug, instead of continuing the conversation.

Spotting his eyes looking at her hands, she smiled, assuming that he was looking for her ring, "I'm not wearing it," she said, "But it's beautiful." Hermione said truthfully, it was gorgeous, but for some reason she didn't feel like boasting about her getting married, and getting all that attention, she knew it was not normal though. However, it wasn't like she never wore it, she wore it on special occasions, mainly when Ron was there. Although she hadn't seen him in ages.

OOC: maybe <.< >.> lol

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco laughed, grinning toothily. "Well, there has been a lot of interest, in me, more so then me in someone else... Yes, I know that sounded c0cky, but it's true..." He hadn't found a girl that he was in love with yet, maybe some interest, but, not really.

Hermione seemed a little weary about the subject, it confused the 25 year old slightly, shouldn't she like the topic of love now that she was engaged, soon to be married?

"Oh, wow, usually chicks love to wear their rings..." He said, casually, usually they did. "That's good, pretty rings are fun..." Draco laughed slightly at his semi un-masculine statement. His silver-eyed gaze moved over to his hand, his eye catching his silver ring, a green snake made out of emeralds wrapped around the ring.

Ron, being an Auror must have had more money now, and be able to buy pretty rings, he chuckled mentally, he decided not to start talking about how poor Ron was, he didn't feel like being a prick, that was odd. Though he had matured, so, the urge to insult Ron wasn't as strong.

Ooc: Lol, maybe's can be good, that way they are always flexible.......

[Hermione Granger]

Hermione laughed, "You had me surprised there for a second." Hermione said, she had expected that people would have been interested in him, "And yeah that was cocky." Hermione said in a normal tone, it was true sometimes things couldn't help sounding cocky when you say them.

Hermione just shrugged at Draco's comment, "Yeah, I guess so, I just don't want to... who knows why." Hermione half-lied, since she sort of knew why she didn't wear it, but not fully, "Yeah, they are." Hermione said laughing quietly at what he said, "A bit feminine are yah?" she asked jokingly.

Hermione's eyes followed Dracos', settling upon his own ring. Smiling, she took his hand for a better look at the ring, "That's awesome!" Hermione said, letting go of his hand, "Where did you get it?" she asked.

Almost starting to laugh, as she thought about how they were casually talking, covered in all different foods, and drinks for that matter. Hermione yawned, she was pretty tired, but didn't feel like going back to sleep.

[Draco Malfoy]

“I can’t help it,” Draco said, a playful smile forming on his features. “It’s just how I am, I haven’t changed completely…” Laughter followed his statement. He liked to act self-conceited, it could be amusing.

“Well, to each their own…” The blonde said, maybe she wanted to look single? He didn’t know why, but perhaps. “Well, I do love to stay in touch with my feminine side,” he joked, making womanly hand gestures as he spoke in a mock-high tone. Draco’s eyes moved upwards, he really needed to get that sticky mess out of his precious hair…

He was surprised as she took his hand; then she commented on his ring. “Heh, thankyou… I bought it on Ebay…” Draco stuck his tongue out, “just kidding, I bought it at some dark magic shop in Knocturn Alley… Heh, supposedly it was some kind of special Slytherin ring, maybe Salizar’s or something…” He shrugged slightly. “It better be important, it cost enough…”

Draco’s thoughts were heading the same way as Hermione’s, they were both a sticky mess, but yet talking so normally, like they didn’t have food and drinks poured over them. “Man, I need to get this out of my hair…”

[Hermione Granger]

Hermione laughed as Draco imitated a woman or women in general, "Oh my." she said, laughing.

Hermione rose a brow, "Eba-" she started, but then noticed he was joking, "Well it's awesome, and that would be pretty cool if it was Salizar's him living so long ago..." Hermione said, she was still interested in the history of magic, "I should go down to Knocturn Alley sometime, but I don't know where you can get things like that..." Hermione said, still looking at his ring.

Suddenly she began to feel a bit strange, thinking about when they were younger, and how they could never imagine getting a long with eachother; and the thought of them talking so casually when they looked nothing like casual people would, still was in her mind. As Draco spoke, she brought her own hand to her hair, "Yeah, me too, we are such a mess." Hermione said, taking her hand away from her hair that was clobbered in all sorts of food and drinks.

[Draco Malfoy]

A smirk fitted well on his features after his female-like act, “I’m sorry you had to witness that, but it seemed fitting,” he added, a shrug lifting his shoulders. With the simple act f movement a lump of ice cream fell off his head, splatting on the floor beside him.

“It would defiantly be cool if it was Salizar’s,” Draco agreed, holding his hand up to study the ring with a greater intensity. The blonde chuckled, “Really, you, in Knocturn Alley? I suppose you’ve been there a couple of times, right?” He asked casually, usually not many people went to Knocturn Alley. He did only to get rare things; there were a lot of those things in the alley. “If you like I’ll show you where I got it some time… They probably have more fancy rings, maybe even a Gryffindor one,” he offered.

“Mm… I wouldn’t want my hair to be ruined forever, my hair is a big part in my life..” Draco joked, a grin forming on his features. “Yeah, so I probably should go…”

[Hermione Granger]

"Oh it was so horrific!" Hermione said sarcastically, "Just disgusting." Hermione laughed, "It was fitting."

Hermione nodded, "Yeah a few times, there is something just creepy in the atmosphere, but I don't mind it..." Hermione said, "That would be so much fun, we should go sometime, if you don't mind." Hermione said, "Gryffindor ring, that would be neat."

Hermione nodded, "Yeah, I should be going too, I bet it is going to take forever to get this stuff out of our hair..."

ooc: sorry for short-ness of the post

[Draco Malfoy]

“I’m glad you agree…” Draco replied, smiling slightly.

“I like a bit of creepiness, it can be fun,” he said to Hermione. “Of course I don’t mind, how ‘bout we go sometime soon… Or later, just, erm, come see me about it?” Draco said, trying to determine a date for them to go, obviously he wasn’t doing to well.

“Indeed, my hair might not feel like silk tomorrow, and none of us want that,” he said, chuckling slightly. It was true though, who would dare encounter a Draco whose hair was not silky?

Ooc: I apologize too… >.<

[Hermione Granger]

Hermione nodded, "OK, we can figure it out later, but for now you should get to a shower, and same for me." Hermione said looking down at herself, "You just wouldn't be Draco without your silky hair would you?"

Hermione started to head down and out of the great hall, "See you later Draco," she said.

After nodding to a few professors, giving them a bit of a wave good-bye, and saying "Bye." to Helen, she had left the Great Hall, and hurriedly went to get herself cleaned up, before she had to deal with some major damage.

ooc: kinda hurried out, but ah well, they were in need of a shower

[Brittany Mirane]

brittany clapped when headmistress was done then startes to pile on food and talk happily with friends

[Sparkles]

Sparkles looked down at the two professors from above. Neither one had realized she was there. For someone so used to very strange things, this was too much. Hermione and Draco? She'd never believe it. Oh well, that's what I get for staying at Hogwarts, where weird things ALWAYS happen sht thought to herself.
